No, it was this one. [1] I would respond more in depth, but your total lack of sympathy shows a dismissive bias as tenacious as any boomer you insult. [1] http://www.montanakaimin.com/features/a-death-at-aber-hall/

I don't disagree. Not long after that incident, a drunk frat student plunged to his death at the same college. Maybe what society needs is each city gets its own walled Sin City, a sort of padded playground where people can choose to r

If you are in society and altering your mind and impairing your judgement, you're no longer the default "you" but a chemically compromised and unpredictable actor, who may be out of control. In her third week of college, my d

Oddly enough, same happened to me many years ago. Only thing that helps slightly is Breathe Right strips. My father had the same issue so maybe our left nostril DNA got dented.

I always wait on the line until I get an actual person and then I give them a satisfyingly long raspberry. I think it would be more effective if I learned a Hindi curse.

Our local airport closed yesterday due to icy runways. Planes would circle a while then refuel 100s of miles away, then return to try again. We don't often see freezing rain here. It creates a hard, bubbly layer of ice that cannot be s

It doesn't take much for us to believe someone is human, mostly confirming expected behaviors, doing small talk, etc. But AI NPCs will do all that and seem to have will and even conscience. I feel dizzy trying to think through the soci

On my Z5 I can use the built-in Landscape mode, and on the Z6 I can use auto or manual. Autocorrect RAW in Adobe Photoshop looks good. And certainly on a 4k monitor the DSLR images reveal more detail. My post here has me realizing I need to

I am still not understanding why my iPhone 13 landscape photos look as good as those from my $900 Nikkor Z 24mm f/1.8 S prime lens with its superior optics on a $2k DSLR body. If the reason is fancy post-processing, then why can'
